Agree with you on the 72 Captain deal. No way will I bid 757 CDG. I may end up as an involuntary STV in HKG as a junior 300 MEM guy, though. I expect 757 CDG Capt to go about 2-3 yr seniority, with new-hire FOs.
As I sometimes point out--every once in a while I am (gasp!) wrong. Thanks for that point out. I didn't think about the ongoing P/F conversions. The DC-MD conversions however don't seem to me to be a net gain in bodies, but mght actually (with age 60 changes) slow growth a bit.Originally Posted by fdx727pilot
Aaron, just so you know. The latest aquisition/conversion schedule shows 11 more Airbusses thru 09 and 4 MD10s (above the 18 DC10s flying now which will also come back as MDs) thru 2010. There are also 34 757s and 15 777s due by the March of 2011 (where the schedule I saw ends.) The growth has slowed, but it's still there.Agree with you on the 72 Captain deal.
